I installed an Engine Torque Damper, oh the vibration.

So as many will know I hadn't been getting on with the 535d. I decided to sell it and instead buy an Astra.

As long as it has cruise control that you can play with

PMKeates · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:30

It doesn't have cruise

Vigoro · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:30

Got cloth seats? :cool:

PMKeates · 14 Jul 2011 at 21:32

It has half cloth half plastic. Has plastic inserts in the door card too!

Harsh!
I gather they where significantly worse than the usual that night

Well his suspension has been lifted so if he's not posting it's by choice.

He did say some things that evening that I'm sure he regrets but he was provoked.

I always miss those threads

In other news person driving an Astra just like that above, (sounded like a diesel) blaring out Eminem or similar tried the traffic light gp with me earlier. I went up the revs slowly in first then stared slowing for the red lights 200 meters up the road. The Astra driver acting the big man decided to accelerate past me through the red lights just avoiding a bus. This fool will no doubt be singing the praises of his all-powerful diesel Astra somewhere in the Southend area.

The dude asked me to come to his hotel to fight him and gave me his phone number, then apologised the next day, both of which enamoured me to him. He came back after that and a few other times, what did he do that was so bad this time? Guy is going through a rough time, I doubt anyone really got upset no matter what he said.

(Un)fortunately this isn't a diesel, but a 1.8 petrol. Automatic. 4 speed :cool:

Wait... wut?! You're serious PMKeates? Can I ask why? I must have missed your posts about your drama with the 535d.

Well, it was a twofold thing really. Firstly, I wanted a smaller car as the 535d was too hard to park, and I couldn't get on with how sports-oriented the transmission was. This came up as a good deal, I swapped the 535d in and they gave me £5k. Secondly, I got fired from my job for 'apparently' sexually harassing a colleague. It's a crock tbh - he asked me to touch it. So I need to downgrade a bit. I'm not doing the mileage now hence getting a petrol that's a bit more fun.

Without brining it all up again it was basically the same thing.

However, I think people now know that they will get a reaction out of him when he's had a few so they wind him up, sit back and watch the fireworks.

After his last reply I am now 99% sure he's having us all on.

What is it then Keates? Courtesy car? Hire car? Company car? Put us out of our misery.
